This examples demonstrates various shading effects to create round meters with a neon look and feel. It also demonstrates how to create meters that can easily be resized.<br><br>
In this example, the code uses a single size parameter as input, and it derives all the other sizes, such as the radius of the various parts of the chart, the font size, line widths and tick lengths. This allows the chart to be easily resized by changing only one parameter.<br><br>
For the colors, apart from black and white, the code only uses a single color as input. <a href="BaseChart.adjustBrightness.htm">BaseChart.adjustBrightness</a> is used to create brighter or darker versions of that color, and <a href="AngularMeter.relativeRadialGradient.htm">AngularMeter.relativeRadialGradient</a> is used to combine them in gradients.
